[mindnuts]

What version of Traefik are you using (traefik version)?

1.1.2 camembert

What is your environment & configuration (arguments, toml...)?

Config.toml to enable Consul Catalog backend

[consulCatalog]
endpoint = "172.17.8.101:8500"
domain = "service.consul"
prefix = "traefik"

Rules.toml (File backend which works correctly)

What did you do?

Trying to get Traefik working with consul catalog backend working. The file backend works correctly. The Consul Catalog node endpoint reports the Service data correctly:

"core-01:web1:80":{
    "ID":"core-01:web1:80",
    "Service":"web",
    "Tags":[
    "traefik.frontends.web.backend=web-backend",
    "traefik.frontends.web.passHostHeader=true",
    "traefik.frontends.web.routes.path1.rule=HostRegexp:{subdomain:[a-z]+}.ewr.com",
    "traefik.backends.web-backend.servers.server1.url=http://172.17.8.101:46755/",
    "traefik.backends.web-backend.servers.server1.weight=1"
    ],
    "Address":"",
    "Port":46755,
    "EnableTagOverride":false,
    "CreateIndex":883,
    "ModifyIndex":883
}

What did you expect to see?

The path1 rule to be picked

What did you see instead?

Traefik route is default one instead of path1 rule

Not sure what i am doing wrong.

EDIT: Pasting the screenshot of Backend for Web and it seems it is creating the name with the tags:

NVM..........got it working. If anyone else lands here looking for an answer here is what i did.

Below i register three instances of my "web" service with one frontend and 3 backend servers. Consul expects unique IDs for your service instances, the name does not have to be unique.

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "address": "172.17.8.101", "id" : "web1",   "Name": "web",  "Port": 46755, "Tags": [
        "traefik.frontends.web.backend=web-backend",
        "traefik.frontends.web.passHostHeader=true",
        "traefik.frontend.rule=HostRegexp:{subdomain:[a-z]+}.ewr.com",
        "traefik.backend.loadbalancer=drr",
        "traefik.backends.web-backend.servers.server1.url=http://172.17.8.101:46755/",
        "traefik.backend.weight=1"
    ]}' http://172.17.8.101:8500/v1/agent/service/register

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "address": "172.17.8.101", "id" : "web2",   "Name": "web",  "Port": 46756, "Tags": [
        "traefik.frontends.web.backend=web-backend",
        "traefik.frontends.web.passHostHeader=true",
        "traefik.frontend.rule=HostRegexp:{subdomain:[a-z]+}.ewr.com",
        "traefik.backend.loadbalancer=drr",
        "traefik.backends.web-backend.servers.server2.url=http://172.17.8.101:46756/",
        "traefik.backend.weight=1"
    ]}' http://172.17.8.101:8500/v1/agent/service/register

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "address": "172.17.8.101", "id" : "web3",   "Name": "web",  "Port": 46757, "Tags": [
        "traefik.frontends.web.backend=web-backend",
        "traefik.frontends.web.passHostHeader=true",
        "traefik.frontend.rule=HostRegexp:{subdomain:[a-z]+}.ewr.com",
        "traefik.backend.loadbalancer=drr",
        "traefik.backends.web-backend.servers.server3.url=http://172.17.8.101:46757/",
        "traefik.backend.weight=1"
    ]}' http://172.17.8.101:8500/v1/agent/service/register

Now it looks like this on Traefik dashboard, calls are sent dynamically to each of them in a round robin fashion:
